Resumo: |
This Master s thesis relies on the purpose of analysing the relationship between leadership styles and business continuity in the perception of families who own and manage Freight Transportation Companies (FTC) s in Brazil. It is intended in this research work to contribute in the way to evaluate certain features of those FTCs, in the sense of investigating how founders or managers of those firms consider their leadership styles to be able to make the business run continuously throughout time. This research work is structured in three chapters; the first two chapters present a review on diverse theories of leadership and family business, while the third chapter describes a survey carried out with founders or managers of ten FTCs. The criteria for the companies selection took into consideration the fact of such firms being family businesses, in which family members have actual participation in the way business is run in those companies. From all information gathered in those interviews, it was possible to verify a linking among those theories selected to this thesis and the statements of the FTCs owners or descendants in charge of the business, especially on what regards the trade activities performed along time. Despite the interviewed people have reinforced the important role of the leader in the way they ran their business, they stated that leadership was not the most important factor in family business s continuity or in the success such company had gotten as time went by; this continuity subject might depend on the founder s leadership styles that maintain as priority the development of specific abilities on the successors and the strengthening ot their most efective capabilities and not depend strictly on a kind of magnetic effect |
